Meet Ashley & Lauren
Ashley and Lauren co-founded Drift Away Dreams, LLC as a creative venture to bring their first book, Drift Away Dreamers, to life.
Drift Away Dreamers is just the beginning of what they hope will be a growing collection of imaginative and inspiring books for children.
About the Author
Ashley Sanderson-Snyder is the author of Drift Away Dreamers. As a mum (she’s from the UK) of two young children, she deeply values a good bedtime story—and she knows how even the smallest thing can derail bedtime routines. Through experience and a little creativity, Ashley discovered that bedtime could be transformed into an enchanting time, full of imagination and possibility. Her stories inspire young children to dream big, feel loved, and embrace who they truly are.
Now based in New England, Ashley lives with her two little darlings, Vienna and Colby, her husband Scott, and their energetic dog, Coffee.
